However, Chu Jia had just returned from his grandfather’s house in Qingzhou yesterday, so he probably didn’t know that the capital had been turbulent these past few days.

The other young master also felt that something was wrong and quickly changed the topic back to Chu Shen. “Where’s Ah Shen’s sweetheart?”

“Miss Du doesn’t seem to be tall.”

“Is she over there…”

As they spoke, a few young masters looked at the crowd by the lake and craned their necks.

“Is that purple-clothed girl standing by the willow tree Du…” Chu Jia pointed at a petite purple-clothed girl under the willow tree by the lake and said uncertainly, “Eh? Why are so many of them gathered together?”

“Could it be a competition?”

“I don’t think so.”

They quickly sensed that the atmosphere among the group of people by the lake wasn’t right. It seemed to be a little stiff, as if two groups of girls were confronting each other.

Even from their position, although they couldn’t hear the voices by the lake at all, they could feel the unfriendly atmosphere between them on both sides of the confrontation.

“Don’t tell me those girls are arguing,” someone muttered softly.

“This must be Jiaoniang.” Chu Jia narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Jiaoniang, who was sitting on a bench 70 to 80 feet away. He smiled and said, “That’s right. She must have quarreled with those girls from the aristocratic families again.”

Chu Shen, Chu Jia, and the other young masters of the royal family were also quite familiar with Wei Jiaoniang, Lu Qin, and the others. They had known each other since they were young and often played polo and hunted together.

They also knew that Wei Jiaoniang and the others had always been on bad terms with the girls from those aristocratic families. Whenever they met, they would always argue without saying much.

“Jiaoniang’s fiery temper is just like her grandmother’s. She’s clear about her likes and dislikes.” Chu Shen chuckled. “Why don’t we forget about the pitch-pot? Let’s call her along for a horse race. After running two rounds, she won’t be angry anymore.”

“Let’s go over and take a look.” Chu Jia called out to everyone at the top of his voice and walked towards Wei Jiaoniang by the lake. He looked like he wanted to see the world in chaos.

Rather than saying that he was going to mediate the fight, it was better to say that he was calling everyone over to watch the commotion.

When the group of young masters approached, they realized that the atmosphere here was quite strange.

The young masters and ladies around the periphery were whispering to each other and discussing. One could vaguely hear a girl say in disbelief, “Second Lady Gu is really engaged?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never heard of it,” the other girl whispered uncertainly. “Could that Zhaodi be talking nonsense?”

“They don’t look like sisters. They don’t look alike at all.”

“But I think that Zhaodi is right. She doesn’t seem to have hysteria.”

All kinds of speculations and discussions about Gu Yanfei rose and fell, vaguely entering the ears of Chu Jia, Chu Shen, and the others with the wind.

They all subconsciously looked at Chu Yi.

Chu Yi’s expression didn’t change as he continued walking unhurriedly.

He looked at Gu Yanfei, who was in the center of the crowd, from afar. His gaze landed on the gorgeous and exquisite hairpin in her hair. An Le’s boastful voice sounded in his ear, making him smile.

“Big Brother, Sister Yanfei looks very good with that phoenix hairpin… Its a perfect match!”

“I picked that hairpin. I knew it would suit Sister Yanfei. I really have good taste!”

An Le indeed has good taste. Chu Yi’s lips curled up, and his gaze gradually moved down from the girl’s full forehead, to her bright eyes, to her small and delicate nose, and then to her full and beautiful cherry lips.

How beautiful!

Chu Shen tugged at Chu Jia’s sleeve and asked him with his eyes, “Did the Eldest Prince hear that just now?”

How would I know! Chu Jia shrugged and quickly chased after him.

At this moment, everyone by the lake also noticed that Chu Yi, Chu You, and the others had arrived. They turned around and greeted the princes.

“Greetings, Your Highnesses.”

He’s here. When Gu Yanfei heard the sound, she immediately looked in Chu Yi’s direction. The long string of pearl tassels on her temples swayed and shone, illuminating her pupils. She was gentle and charming.

The two of them looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile brightly.

Even the surrounding air seemed to have an indescribable sweetness as the two of them looked at each other.

Even if Gu Yanfei didn’t ask, she could tell from Chu Yi’s burning gaze at this moment that he liked her current appearance. She hadn’t walked around in such a big circle with this heavy hairpin in vain..
